Caption: “I found two PAs in Dearborn Station on December 26, 1967 -- ‘Hi Ladies’. The shot is from the second floor waiting room though the glass wall for looking into the train shed. PA1s were seldom seen in Chicago so they were a surprise. The train is Train 24, the Grand Canyon, and the Big Dome is a deadhead from the Topeka shops.That's F3A 34C in the distance. I guess they stopped her way back there so I could get these unobstructed pictures. AT&SF 74L was built in August 1947 as 58B and renumbered 74L in May 1949. She was wrecked in Planada, CA on June 23, 1953 and rebuilt. She was traded to EMD in 1969 toward the SD45 series.”
